dancerjodiI saw this article http://www.wickedlocal.com/waltham/news/x462617247/Waltham-native-pens-novel-about-teenage-life-in-the-Watch-City#axzz1YVnf5Kss and wanted to grab the book. Another article about the story was found here http://www.wickedlocal.com/arlington/news/x1587957521/Q-A-with-John-Reed-Mean-streets-of-Paradise#axzz1YVnf5Kss
This reads much like a journal and less like a book. It is not very well written. The editing was very poor, but despite that I enjoyed reading it.
If you are from Waltham or the Waltham area, a kid of the late 70s/early 80s, into coming of age stories and that kind of thing, you may enjoy it. Though I went through Waltham High School almost a decade after the author, I recognized a lot of things in this book. It was a neat trip down memory lane.
